I think this game could either be a Warriors-Win blowout with their frontline inablity to match the faster-smaller team as Kirilenko's defense would be neutrilized from the lack of half-court offense from the Warriors. Just worrying about Boozer breaking out. If Jazz could stop the Warriors from playing a fast game, then it should be a long night for Warriors.

Utah has been impressive. If anything, the Warriors will have their hands full. The international bigs are ones the Warriors need to stay on. They can take you outside, and hell, they can do it inside too.

We need to insert Diogu in the game frequently and pound it inside to get them in foul trouble. We must continue to improve with out free throws..

I agree - this from the Mercury News on Nellie's revelation:

Diogu was even more important in the second half, when he replaced Foyle in the starting five and the Warriors took off. During the 18-3 run, Golden State converted four fast-break layups, two other driving layups and a dunk by Murphy. Murphy scored six points, Richardson added five, Davis had four and Diogu three more.

``It was just an idea that I had, an outside-inside kind of thing,'' Nelson said. ``Murphy's the outside guy and Ike's the inside man. I thought that might work, and I thought it did pretty well.''

Starting 5 should be BD, JRich, Monta, Ike and Biedrins

Such devoted fans here! Almost everyone picks the Warriors to win. Unfortunately, I see no way they can do that. They've bee woefully inconsistent, turned the ball over too much, free throws, blah blah blah. Utah, on the other hand, has been on a tear. If we turn it on here, and can come out with a win, I'll be ecstatic. One can always dream....
